Updated guidelines and scope
We've had some discussion about scope on Meta for Q&A here including:
- What's on and off topic?
- Questions about theology, doctrine, philosophy
- How should we handle questions that (probably) don't depend on denomination/tradition?
Based on community discussion and observation / handling of actual questions we've received over the past few years, I created a help article:
Christianity Q&A: Guidelines and Scope
I welcome feedback from the community.

Hello! I'm new here, and I'll be honest that I'm more of a jump-in head-first sort that is bound to sink or swim. So I have not read a great deal of the specifics of this site, its hierarchy, mission statement and the nuanced differences between you all and stackexchange.
That being said, because you're small and there is vast space between activity and the here-and-now, I'd like to see this endeavor be revitalized.
Everything these days is AI and the stress of putting food on the table and making rent, but I long for the days people could be fascinated and fascinating; days where a charismatic truth telling person could captivate your attention for more than a commercial break.
Is there a possibility that this particular community, codidact subgroup, could include a fellowship feature?
Christianity is one thing if we're talking about its social and historical impact on a grand societal model, what's that like anthropology? But it's quite another 'animal' when it's lived out.
So getting to know things about the author, like a testimony, what motivates them to spread their faith, where they see world events converging into Biblical prophetic fulfilment on a personal daily level, that kind of thing.
Q&A is great, but there's more. The recent post on, checking notes, "Non-traditional Sunday School Audiences" clearly had effort put into it, so it's a shame it was closed down instead of channeled to an appropriate jefferies tube and be off on its way to the right subsection of this sub-codidactic community.
